As the domain of reincarnation unfolded, Weiss and the others instantly felt themselves transported to a mysterious space. Within their bodies, a faint, mystical power could still be sensed flowing.
"Divine Lord, what is this you're doing?"
The assembled Divine Guards looked towards Ye Ming, unsure of his intentions.
"Rest assured, I am bestowing upon you a fortunate encounter!"
Ye Ming smiled faintly and continued, "Next, I will draw out all the potential within your bodies. As for what level you can elevate to, that will depend entirely on yourselves."
Elevating potential!
The crowd was perplexed.
However, they soon understood the meaning of his words.
Ye Ming's expression turned solemn. The reincarnation power within his body surged forth ceaselessly. With his hands as conduits, he channeled the external reincarnation power into each of the Divine Guards present.
The warriors floated in mid-air, feeling an intense heat surge through their bodies.
"Ah! I... I feel like my body is about to explode!"
"This... this is... power, an unending stream of power!"
"I feel my cells rapidly differentiating!"
"..."
Under the augmentation of the reincarnation power, all the Divine Guards endured pain while simultaneously sensing their own strength continuously rising. Even some aging cells within their bodies seemed to be reborn, once again providing them with bodily functions.
This was precisely the effect Ye Ming intended to achieve.
What he wanted was to evolve these warriors comprehensively, to force out all their latent potential.
One hour later.
"Hoo!"
Ye Ming withdrew the reincarnation domain and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had done all he could to his limit. Evolving the physiques of so many people simultaneously was a significant burden for him.
This relatively extreme method could only be performed once. Otherwise, it would be counterproductive and damage their fundamental essence.
"How do you feel?"
Ye Ming looked at Weiss, asking with a smile.
"Thank you, Divine Lord!"
Weiss knelt on one knee, his face filled with emotion. "My cultivation has advanced directly from the mid-stage of the Origin Soul Realm to the peak of the Origin Soul Realm. I am only one step away from the Innate realm."
"Excellent! What about the rest of you?"
Ye Ming was very satisfied with the results and looked at the other Divine Guards.
"I advanced directly from the late stage of the Nascent Origin Realm to the Origin Heart Realm."
"Me too!"
"I advanced to the Origin Soul Realm."
"..."
After a headcount, six new Origin Soul Realm powerhouses were born. Fifteen new Origin Heart Realm cultivators were added.
Now, the lowest cultivation level among them was the peak of the Nascent Origin Realm.
And this was merely the beginning. This book's pavilion.
With their physiques evolved, their future cultivation speed would far surpass that of ordinary individuals. It was no exaggeration to say that at least five-tenths of the people present could achieve the Innate realm.
The Heavenly Human Realm was also within reach.
The only regret was that Ye Ming's use of such an enhancement method had severely depleted his reincarnation power, making it impossible to improve others again in the short term.
Furthermore, only a few individuals truly possessed the potential for such growth.
After all, these Divine Guards were geniuses chosen from a million. Otherwise, such a massive improvement would not have been possible.
"Alright! Cultivate diligently. In the near future, you will be our strongest trump card," Ye Ming stated in a deep voice.
"We will not fail to meet the Divine Lord's expectations!"
The crowd's voices boomed like thunder, shaking the heavens.
For the next period, Ye Ming personally inspected their cultivation techniques and combat skills, providing guidance one by one.
Time flew by like a revolving sun and moon.
By the time he returned to Lorien's grand hall from the training camp, night had already fallen.
Seeing the noble silhouette seated on the throne, engrossed in various documents, Ye Ming's mind involuntarily recalled the intimate scene of the previous night.
After all, that throne was the sole witness.
"Hmm?"
Perhaps Lorien was reminded of something, as her delicate face flushed slightly upon meeting Ye Ming's gaze. She quickly lowered her head, her eyes seeming to hold a shimmering pool of spring water.
"Have the matters been handled?"
Ye Ming walked to the side of the shy woman and sat down without restraint, embracing her slender, willow-like waist as he asked with a smile.
"I... I'm done!"
Miss Lorien dared not look at Ye Ming, her gaze fixed on the documents. However, her thoughts had likely already drifted to the throne from last night.
Seeing this, a mischievous smile flickered across Ye Ming's face. The hands resting on her waist gently squeezed.
"Ah!"
This slight movement caused all of Lorien's bones to go soft. Her delicate body seemed on the verge of melting, and she leaned entirely into Ye Ming's embrace.
"You... don't be naughty!"
Lorien struggled with a lack of confidence.
Yet, she was unaware that her current fragile demeanor formed a stark and potent contrast with her identity as the Empress.
This, more often than not, was an irresistible aphrodisiac for the opposite sex.
Fortunately, Ye Ming had already fully experienced the empress's unique tenderness before, so he possessed some immunity at the moment. Otherwise, the throne might have faced further mishaps.
"Alright! Let's discuss important matters and refrain from misbehaving!"
Ye Ming merely held the beauty in his arms and did not continue to tease her.
"Okay!"
Only then did Miss Lorien heave a sigh of relief. After all, with old wounds not fully healed, if battle were to resume, she feared she truly wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
"I have already discussed with Jun Xue that establishing the Kingdom of Britannia as our base is the best option," Ye Ming said seriously. "For this alliance, I propose we hold it here in the imperial palace. What do you think?"
Upon mentioning important matters, Lorien's delicate demeanor vanished, replaced by an aura of supreme wisdom.
"Regarding these matters, I already discussed them with Jun Xue a few days ago. We will meticulously handle the details, and there will be no unexpected occurrences."
Lorien said in a deep voice, "We have chosen the day after tomorrow for the establishment of the alliance. Everyone will be present then."
"The day after tomorrow!"
Hearing this timing, Ye Ming was somewhat surprised.
It was a little faster than he had anticipated.
But this was a good thing.
"Very well! Let's proceed with this time!"
Ye Ming nodded, then asked, "What are your plans for the other two powers in the Western underground realm?"
Although Ye Ming was not very familiar with those two factions, their previous standing alongside the Divine Temple indicated they were not simple.
Even if the Divine Temple had hidden its strength at that time, it could not be denied that within those two powers, there were undoubtedly many talented individuals.
If they could be recruited, it would be a significant asset.
"You don't need to worry about this."
A hint of mischief flashed in Lorien's beautiful eyes, and she smiled, "You remember Weiss, don't you?"
"Uh... yes!"
Ye Ming did not understand why she suddenly asked this.
"Let me tell you a secret now..." Lorien blinked playfully and smiled:
"Weiss is the eldest son of the Dark Lord of Dark Fortress!"
